Today in Madonna History: May 28, 1994

On May 28 1994, I’ll Remember (Theme From The Motion Picture With Honors) peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Sales chart (one week), Hot 100 Airplay chart (five weeks) and Top 40 Mainstream chart (three weeks).

This combined push allowed the single to reach its overall peak of #2 on the Hot 100 Singles chart.

Had the single’s slower growing success on the Hot AC chart (which would peak at #1 for four weeks beginning June 11th) aligned with its sales peak on May 28th, I’ll Remember might have advanced to the top spot on the Hot 100. Instead, a very respectable four-week run at #2 would have to do.

  1. Standing tall with a confident stride in the vocal booth, Madonna was quickly and rapidly growing up and reinventing herself right before our eyes-this time as a classy and mature torch diva/ballad singer! I’ll Remember was the perfect ballad at the right time and it set her up for the future heartland rock masterpieces Ray of Light and Music.
